1966 Le Mans 24 Hours race winning Ford GT40 Mark II

Multi-color printed on a Gildan Ultra Cotton 100% cotton tee.

The black #2 GT40 Mark II was prepared and entered into the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans by Shelby American. The car was powered by Ford's big block 7-liter (427 cubic inches) V8 and piloted by New Zealanders Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon. The #2 GT40 Mark II won the race, completing 360 laps and covering a distance of 3009 miles at an average speed of 125.4 miles per hour. Ford locked out the podium with 2nd place going to Shelby American's #1 GT40 Mark II, and 3rd place going to Holman & Moody's #5 GT40 Mark II. This podium sweep was a sign of things to come as the GT40 ended Ferrari's 6-year winning streak at Le Mans and began its own 4-year winning streak through 1969.
